WHITE ROSES, AROMATIC, CAPTIVATING

This incredibly unique experimental coffee is grown on Jairo's farm Santa Mónica and processed nearby at La Pradera. This lot is 100% pink bourbon and underwent a very innovative process to achieve its unique flavour. It was exposed to a dry anaerobic fermentation for 72 hours with the pulp on, during which Rose tea was added. After fermentation, the coffee was pulped and dried on raised beds below 35°C until reaching the ideal moisture content.

VARIETAL

Pink Bourbon

Pink Bourbon, a rare and unique coffee varietal, offers a complex flavour profile with notes of tropical fruit, floral hints, and a sweet, balanced acidity. Its vibrant and nuanced taste makes it ideal for specialty single-origin coffees, showcasing its exceptional quality and distinctive characteristics.

PROCESS

Rose Tea Infusion + Honey (Semi-Washed)

The infusion process in raw coffee bean preparation involves soaking raw coffee beans in a liquid solution to alter their flavour, caffeine content, or chemical composition. This method is commonly used for decaffeination (e.g., sugar cane process) or flavour enhancement, allowing the beans to absorb specific compounds before drying and roasting.
